Frederick Bryton is fortunate in having
Fred McCloy for his manager Mr. McC!oy
is genial. whole-soued gentleman who
knows his business, and who is completely
wrapped up in the idea of achieving success
for Mr.. Brvton. That he is being success
full is evidenced BY the fact that crowded
houses greet him everywhere, all the news
papers speak highly of him, and people
talk about him on the streets. All this is
not only an indication that Mr. Bryton is
favorite actor. but that his interests are being
watched with jealous eyes. Last year his
success was Indifferent. In some places he
was given the finest kind Of houses. and in
Others he was received by scarcely a corp0-
rails guard. The name of the play. Jack
ODamonds." coupled with the oh-Im-a-
tough kind of wall paper used, was largely
responsible for Brytons i'll success but in
different management had more TO with
il than all else. When McCloy
became Mr.. BrytOn's manager. the name of
the play was changed to Forgiven" the
faro bank wall paper was discarde.t, and
by talking. writing and working night and
day. the good manager has pushed his man
to the front rank of actors of the romantic
school. The result is that BrytOn is this
year perfect gold mine. To those who
have seen Mr.. BrytOn il may be interesting
TO know that he made his first great hit in
the character of Jack Hamlin In the dra-
matiZatiOn of Bret fiarte's novel, Gabriel
Conroy. Mckee Rankin was supposed 10
be the star and he was furnishing the funds
for the enterprise. Rankin himself As
sumed the role of Gabriel COnroy. the
leading character of the piece. and Bryton
was cast as Jack Hamlin. When the play
was produced in New York. the papers
gave the bulk of their notices to Bryton
who made Jack Hamiin the central figure
of the play. He made the greatest
hit of the season. Rankin real
lied this and said: Here. By the ghost of
Forrest. l can't put up TO star another
man.. and forthwith withdrew the play.
Bryton knew that he had struck his lead.
and going to Clay Greene. the eminent
play wright, they together prepared the plot
of the play. Forgiven" and Greene wrote
it. The character of John Diamond was
based on that of Jack Hamin. and in that
character BrytOn has achieved success.
Mr. McCloy stamps :he ruImor that Mr..
Bryton will next season appear in legIti-
mate as unfOunded. He will open in
Forgiven" but expects early in the season
To put in rehearsal a new play which he
thinks will be even more successful than
Forgiven.

The greatest excitement prevails through
ont the Cherokee nation. II is only ques-
ton of time when the Cherokee will be pitied
against against his brother in fight that will
be short but destructive to Indians of this
uation. and which will no doubt result in the
opening up of the country to the settlement
of the whites aud the determination of the
red man. The trouble has been brewing for
the last five months over an election of
chief at a council.
Monday, Chief Bushyhead's term as chief
executive expired. l.. W. Bell became
chief by virtue of being President of the
Senate, thus throwing for the time being the
government into the hands of Downing's
party.
Crowds that begun 10 surround the Council
chamber at nine O'Clock kept growing
larger, and hundreds of excited Indians were
watching the proceedings of their representa-
lives, ready at any moment to engage in fight
vhiskey peddler is on the grounds If
whiskey can be kept from the crowd order
will prevail, but if the Indians are allowed to
get it, no power can prevent bloody con-
